The above is a typical example of the difference between mathematics
and applied science. In applied science and engineering things need to work
just well enough. In mathematics the truth is absolute. It is either true or
false.

If you see my post on the previous page, I had the same problem. The AR5424 is pretty poorly documented, and I think there are a few different variants of the chip out there as well. Obviously this makes it very difficult for the devs to engineer support.

Luckily for you, it should be easy enough for you to swap your wlan card. I've had reasonable success with an intel 3945 wlan card, although I can't seem to get 802.1x authentication working (looks like wpa_supplicant doesn't have driver support for my nic) so if you need this it might be worthwhile searching for a compatible nic .

Well, now I have egg on my face again! Clearly I didn't read the man page for ifconfig thoroughly enough :\. I now see that 802.1x auth is mentioned under the wpaakms flag of 802.11 operation. That said, I can't see any more information on it in the man page..this does warrant some more investigation though!

Given this, I'm a bit curious as to why there is still a wpa_supplicant package that is being maintained with each release. Granted, it hasn't been updated since about 2007 or something..

APM works perfectly, hibernation too using tphdisk
Buttons work with tpb
the iwi0 driver gets the wifi done, but to get WPA to work I had to disable apm
in the UKC (This was back when I was running 4.5 so -current may work, not sure and I have no way to test).

Sound works (though there is no mixerctl setting for the mute button, even though the button works fine)
X works
ACPI sleep/suspend does not work
Display sleep works at least
Wired and wifi NICs work
Brightness controls work, though are a bit sluggish/slow to respond

Yep, Lenovo support replaced it. They sent a tech out to my house and everything, pretty good service.

My only complaint now is that the middle "scroll" button beneath the Trackpoint doesn't work. But I read somewhere that this is a limitation of the hardware, not OpenBSD. I guess it would work if I disabled the touchpad in the BIOS, but I'm not willing to do that.

Greetings all, just an update for my Lenovo T61 and HP tc4200 to 4.6, below dmesg's and hw sensor output (had a T60 for a few months but ...)

I do also have Openbsd 4.6 on a white Macbook, seems to run pretty good it's not staying on though (macbook being sold soon too)

-> BSDfan666, i just saw that message where i had previously asked about my biometric scanner it seems it was in this laptop part ... my bad (mea culpa) for you latinists that may not understand ebonics )

So i have managed to aquire myself a T500 lenovo for Christmas? i guess (sold my T61 and S10e), OpenBSD 4.6 seems to like everything except some of my Card slot types and my firewire adaptor.

I also see a "not configured" next to my HECI inteface for the Intel video card (my HDMI output i assume) as well. I am hoping that the following is my video camera and am asking if anybody has any programs (Ekiga?) that may be able to use my camera/mic.
